Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking system and its counterpart on the station. Thanks to international ...

Biological membranes of cells and its subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks for ...

An international research team presents a new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. Biological membranes of cells and its ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

3D visualization of lipids with a new technique (Lipid-CLEM): Combining two imaging techniques, the researchers developed a correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) workflow to visualize and ...

A new class of lipids improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their effectiveness of such treatments.

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks ...

Researchers have captured the first cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of the cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 in its open state at low temperature, identifying the membrane lipid PIP2 as the molecular ...
